Niu Niu carried the basket and the first thing he distributed was orange candies.
Orange candy is a soft candy in the shape of an orange segment, and its appearance is very appealing to children.
Everyone had orange candies, grandpa and grandma had some, my cousin had some, my sister had some, and mom and dad had some too. Except for dad's candy which was given to mom, the rest were given to each by Niu Niu one by one.
After distributing the orange candies, Niu Niu gave half of the remaining things to his sister. At the end, there was also a small car. Niu Niu said: "Sister, let's play with the car together."
Gua Gua put the things his brother gave him back into the basket: "Put them in the basket first, I'll take them out when I get home in the evening. I don't play with cars, so Niu Niu can keep them for yourself."
Since his sister didn’t want the car, Niu Niu belonged to him. Niu Niu gave the small basket to his mother for safekeeping, and took the car to take his uncle out to play.
Gua Gua had already made an appointment with Xiao Jiang to go find Xixi after lunch. It was almost time, so he took a small portion of the snacks that his brother had given him from the small basket and went out.
Xu Xiangjuan peeled the orange candy, put the candy into Zhou Chengning's mouth, and sat next to him to chat with her parents.
Now is not the time to coax the big one, let’s wait until tonight.
After chatting with my parents for a while, two aunts came over. There were a few guests in the afternoon, and the two aunts could handle it easily, so they didn't need Xu Xiangjuan's help.
Niu Niu played with his uncle in the car outside for half an hour, then came into a small restaurant to get his snacks, but did not stay and left immediately.
My sister had just gone out and told him that she had taken some of her share away, so when there was less, he didn't ask my mother who took it.
Zhou Chengning sat next to Xu Xiangjuan and didn't say a word the whole afternoon.
...
"You've already eaten Niu Niu's orange candy, so please don't be angry anymore, okay?" When Xu Xiangjuan returned home in the afternoon, she didn't go to cook first, but pulled the man into the inner room to coax him first.
My parents might not be able to sense it, after all, Aning doesn’t talk much in front of them, but she is their bedside companion, so how could she not sense it?
Zhou Chengning: "I'm not angry."
Xu Xiangjuan poked Zhou Chengning's face with her index finger: "Are you not angry yet? The words 'I am angry' are written all over your face."
Zhou Chengning: "Juan, I'm not angry anymore."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Is it because Niu Niu spends money recklessly or because I spend money on Niu Niu? Niu Niu doesn't spend much money in China. He is already a very good child. Think about Zhu Zhu."
"Cows are cows, and pigs are pigs."
Xu Xiangjuan: "What's the difference? They are all children, and our family conditions are not so bad that we can't let our children go to the store to buy food."
She always felt something was not right when she heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, she thought it was probably related to Aning's childhood experiences.
Aning has already divided people into different classes. Although he wants to change his current situation and is working hard, the idea that there is a huge gap between people is deeply rooted in his mind and is difficult to change.
I think he understood this better when he was studying and had contact with the outside world. For example, xx's family was well-off and he was born in a golden nest or silver nest. xx could be willful and did not have to worry about his livelihood because his parents supported him, but he could not.
He has to save money, he can't spend money recklessly. Spending money has to be linked to "having no food to eat after the last meal". This may be only one or two cents, but what if he has no food to eat after spending it?
Rich people are stingy because they are greedy or thrifty, but poor people are stingy mostly because they are afraid of being poor.
Some people are sad about a failed marriage, some are sad about being excluded... but there are also people who are sad about being poor and not being able to afford food.
Zhou Chengning: "Ping An is here. Niu Niu is ignorant and spends money recklessly. I don't have any money either. When the time comes, Ping An..."
He couldn't continue. Safety was one reason, but maybe his main reason was that he didn't want his children to spend money recklessly.
Xu Xiangjuan: "What will happen then? Aning, you are already working, it is normal for you to carry some money with you. I have not said that I will manage your money now, just give me 30 yuan of your salary every month, and you can use the rest yourself."
Aning is now working as an assistant teacher with a monthly salary of 50 yuan. She is in charge of all the big money in the family. She said that he can just save his salary and spend it himself.
Because of this, I was repeated for several days.
In the end, he used the money he had used to buy meal tickets, bought the meal tickets and showed them to her to make sure the money was correct.
Their school also gives teachers meal ticket subsidies every month. One meal ticket can be used for lunch for half a month, which saves another amount of money.
There are many sources of human insecurity. Aning had no money before marriage, and after marriage she no longer wanted his money.
Aning said so much at that time, the main point was that she didn't want his money, which meant she didn't want him.
Is this what it means? How can we equate them like this?
When his lover said this again, Zhou Chengning's face really showed the word "unhappy".
Xu Xiangjuan lamented, what a funny thing this is at home.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Okay, okay, just pretend I never said anything. You must give me your salary every month. If you pay me even a penny less, I will scold you."
Zhou Chengning: "Juan, I'm not angry now. I don't get angry that easily."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Well, OK, Aning is not angry... Aning, what do we make money for? Isn't it to spend? You see I spend money all day and you don't say a word, but you make a big deal out of Niu Niu spending his own pocket money, what's wrong with Ping An?
Niu Niu knows the answer very well. When I take Niu Niu to a small shop at noon, Niu Niu always asks the boss how much the price is and he doesn't want anything expensive.
Aning, our Guagua and Niu Niu are really sensible. They rarely go to small shops in China. The things in small shops there are expensive, and the owners will chase the children away if they stay for a long time without buying anything. So when we finally get home, we let the children buy some food and toys. "
Zhou Chengning: "I didn't make a big deal out of it."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Relax in the future. If Niu Niu wants to spend money, just spend his own money. No matter whether Niu Niu has enough money or not, just ignore it and pretend you didn't see it."
Zhou Chengning: "Juan, I will just pretend I didn't see it from now on. I don't care."
Xu Xiangjuan changed her tone and said, "Aning."
Zhou Chengning: "What's wrong Juan?"
Xu Xiangjuan: "Do you think that I buy clothes all the time, so you don't want to pay me and keep it all for me, and don't want to buy anything for me?"
Hearing his lover ask this, Zhou Chengning became nervous and stuttered: "Juan, I...I didn't mean that."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Is that what you mean? Why? You don't want to buy anything for me after being married for many years? I am responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the family. If I buy things for myself, you will be relieved, right? I think you don't love me and are tired of me."
Zhou Chengning panicked immediately after being labeled as someone who didn't like him: "Juan, I don't stop loving you. I love you very much."
After going to Huadu, he was busy studying all day and was also busy at work. Seeing that his wife often went out with Guan Qian and came back with big bags, he didn't want pocket money anymore and gave all the money to his wife for safekeeping.
He didn't expect that his lover would be angry at this moment. Hearing his lover's serious tone, Zhou Chengning didn't know what to do.
Xu Xiangjuan: "You just annoy me. How many years have we been together? Let me count, about seven or eight years. It's been that long, it's time for you to annoy me. Niu Niu, a three-year-old child, knows to go to the store to buy things and share them with everyone. How about you? How long has it been since you bought something for your family?"
"Juan, I..."
Xu Xiangjuan: "What do you mean by 'I'? Take the 20 yuan every month from now on. If you don't buy anything for me, buy something for my family. I'll be happy if I buy a bag of melon seeds on the way home from get off work... Don't buy me clothes, skirts, makeup, or skin care. I'll buy those myself."
There is no need for clothes or skirts, she refused, the man's vision is really unstable.
Zhou Chengning felt that it was inappropriate to say that 10 yuan was enough now, so he agreed reluctantly.
Xu Xiangjuan: "I'm going to cook. Don't give Niu Niu a bad look... Our Aning is not wrong. I have already taught Niu Niu a lesson at noon. Don't make things difficult for Dad."
As a wife and a mother, she has to coax both sides... In conclusion, Guagua is less of a worry.
...
"Niu Niu, Dad is sorry for you." Zhou Chengning's mind is now full of what to buy with 20 yuan a month. After calming down about Niu Niu's matter, he feels that he is making a big deal out of nothing.
He is no longer a child now, and he doesn't need to treasure every penny. His childhood was not very good, and he shouldn't let his children be like him.
Niu Niu was no longer playing with the toy car. He just held the small basket and listened to his father apologizing to him. Niu Niu gave a lollipop to his father and said it was okay.
The conflict between father and son came to an end here.
The lover was in the kitchen, and Zhou Chengning went into the kitchen after apologizing to Niu Niu.
Song Pingan: "Niu Niu, is it true that every time you quarrel with your father, he always apologizes to you?"
"No, sometimes it's me, sometimes it's dad."
Song Ping'an thought about it and decided that who should apologize to whom should depend on who his cousin's wife judged was most at fault.
Niu Niu added: "Dad is not as good as a child. Mom said that children should not be angry with their dad. I am not angry when Dad is wrong. Dad will spank me when I am wrong."
Niu Niu felt that from his description, his uncle should be able to understand what a generous child he was.
After hearing this, Song Ping'an couldn't help laughing. Niu Niu was so funny.
Kitchen room.
Zhou Chengning processed the fish and had dinner in the evening, with pickled fish: "Juan, Niu Niu and I apologized."
Xu Xiangjuan was washing the pot: "Is Niu Niu okay now?"
Zhou Chengning: "It's okay, Juan, I want to tell you..."
Xu Xiangjuan scooped the water from the pot into the basin: "What did you say? Don't be so hesitant and unclear."
“In fact, it doesn’t take 20…”
Xu Xiangjuan: "15 is fine, stop bargaining."
15 is still too much. Zhou Chengning: "10 yuan."
Xu Xiangjuan: "I think you just don't love me anymore. I have no place in your heart."
Zhou Chengning: "Juan, 15, give me 15 every month."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Okay, 15 per month, you can take it directly from your salary and give the rest to me... If you take 1 cent less, it means you don't love me... Guagua is at Miaomiao's house, when it's almost time for dinner, go and call Guagua home for dinner."
Guagua gave away all the hairpins for Xiaojiang and Xixi, leaving only Miaomiao. In the afternoon, she rode her bicycle to pick up Guagua and sent her to the gate of Miaomiao's house before going home as Guagua requested.
It’s already this late and Guagua hasn’t come back yet. If he still doesn’t come back, just let Aning go over and call him.
Zhou Chengning: "I'll call Guagua home after I scrape the fish scales clean."
The fish was clean, and Zhou Chengning left the kitchen to call Gua Gua home.
Niu Niu and Ping An listened to their father/cousin coming out of the kitchen.
He kept sighing and was still sighing even when he walked out of the yard.
Song Pingan: "Niu Niu, what happened to your father?"
"Dad is hungry, and my sister hasn't come home yet, Dad."
Niu Niu sighed in the same voice as his father.
Song Ping'an actually felt that what Niu Niu said made some sense.
Xu Xiangjuan also heard the sigh and wondered if she had gone too far, but then she shook her head and thought that as long as she didn't do it so frequently, saying that she didn't love me could be a way to deal with Aning.
